    I cry no tears for fuckheads who put themselves in this position. Da fuq kind of job is available for philsophy/history of science majors?!? I'm 99.9% certain she went to Europe and 'traveled' after graduation, too.

    Ms. Spicer, who studied philosophy and the history of science at St. John’s College in Annapolis, Md., has had jobs as a barista, a taxi dispatcher and a deli worker. She has $72,000 of student debt and has never been paid an annual wage, she said, of more than $17,000.

    53 seconds...

    It doesn't even say she graduated. 90% of the time, when someone says they "studied" in this, it means they didn't finish.

    Even if she did graduate, if she compiled $70k in debt and all she has to show for it is a degree in philosophy or history of science, then she deserves all the financial hardships that come her way.

    I do love how she blames the government. The government didn't make her pick a major that has absolutely zero value when she gets out.
    She blames the government because she wants the "government" to pay for her debt. Typical Millennial, devoid of all personal responsibility.

    Kill yourself if you worry about being killed in a terrorist attack.

    I only worry about killing terrorists during a terrorist attack.

    Poor Joe Smith was tricked into 100,000 dollars of student loan debt to get his degree in History of Non White Male Artists.
    This.
    Then the poor old sod was duped into a mortgage for a house he can't afford which he furnished using the free credit cards that showed up in his mailbox.
    This
    Now he is hopelessly buried under massive debt while working for the new 15$ an hour minimum wager servicing the BurgerBots at McDonalds who do the work Americans don't want to do.
    and fucking THIS
    Intends to vote for Hillary so she will pick up the tab and give him the same fair shot that rich white and old Americans get.

    The article is one of the many reasons why I'm voting for Gary Johnson.

    She should blame the government for guaranteed subsidization of her student loans.

    Or for not "creating enough jobs". LOL.

    Also....tl, dr and @Tequilla didn't even read it.

    I actually read it but shouldn't have ... total waste of time ... could have narrated the article pretty quickly with just a few bullet points of fact to go off of
